Based on material and performance, mop heads can be categorized as: PVA mop heads, microfiber mop heads, and cotton mop heads.
PVA Mop Heads: PVA mop heads are highly absorbent, eliminating the need for sweeping before mopping. The static electricity generated through air convection and friction effectively attracts dust, sand, and hair without damaging the floor. Hands don't need to be wet or dirty during use, making it simple and clean. Replacing PVA mop heads is economical. The downside is that the strip shape makes it difficult to reach narrow crevices.
Microfiber Mop Heads: Microfiber mop heads are more expensive due to their specialized manufacturing process. The flat mop head makes perpendicular contact with the floor, overcoming the limitation of cotton mop heads which are parallel to the floor. This close contact generates static electricity, allowing for more thorough cleaning of crevices. It cleans with minimal abrasion and can also be used for polishing and waxing. However, the mop head needs to be hand-washed or machine-washed.
Cotton Mop Heads: Cotton mop heads prefer to dry, making them particularly advantageous on wooden floors. Once a cotton mop head gets wet, the hair attached to it is very difficult to remove. After wiping one area, when you wipe another, there will be marks left, and these black marks are hard to clean. Small debris sticks to the mop head and is then carried back to the floor after each mop, requiring sweeping again.
Therefore, cotton mops should be used as dry as possible. Before mopping, it's recommended to sweep up any hair on the floor or vacuum it.
Based on performance, mop heads can be categorized as: flat mop heads, wringable mop heads, and spin mop heads. Flat mop heads can be designed with a rotating structure for easy cleaning of corners. Spin mop heads use a rotating mechanism to wring out water. Steam mop heads are a component of steam mops.
